Inserts?

I keep hearing my friends talk about the Freak Kit and what not ... I'm a new player and I know I don't need to know about this yet but it wouldn't hurt if i got some knowledge so --- what does the freak kit do and what are the numbers i see that are .681 and what not? and where do you put the inserts on the gun?

The Freak barrel's back is oversized to fit the inserts inside it. Depending on the size of the paint, you slide in the insert that fits that paint size (.679-.695 for the regular Freak kit). It makes for a more accurate/efficient shot when your paint matches the barrel bore. That's essentially the point of the Freak kit. I have one myself and love it.

Much thanks guys. I understand now. But last thing, how do you determine which paint is the right size for the kit for you? Does the paint state it on the case or should you just test the paintball in every insert until one fits perfectly?

You want the paint to have a small tight fit, that it won't fall right through but takes a little to blow it out via your mouth.

Take the paint, pop it into the end of the insert, and blow on the end, like with a blow gun. If the ball shoots through, you should be good to go. You don't want the ball to just roll out of the insert without any resistance (that means you're overboring and defeats the purpose of utilizing a kit). I find that where I play (in Kentucky), I pretty much always use my .684 insert. The paint differs by region, weather, etc.
